Mail folder size

When using Entourage on its own (not yet connected to MS Exchange) how do I find out what my mail folder size is? I need to know this before being changed over to Exchange.

Thanks for any help.

Entourage stores everything in a database. If a general idea of what you
have is all you need, check the size of the database. Other wise, under File
--> Export --> select Entourage archive. --> All then check only messages.
Check the size of the .rge file.

I suggest keeping older main on folders "On My Computer". Also see this
